Open Access Upload-a-thon
Greetings,
Each year 平特五不中 Library celebrates听Open Access Week听and uses the week to听discuss听the benefit of making scholarly research broadly accessible on the internet.
The cornerstone of the open access initiative is听to make the results of scholarly research freely and immediately accessible online. One way to achieve this is by placing versions of your already published work in an institutional repository.
This year, the Library is听hosting听an 鈥淯pload-a-Thon". We are asking all faculty members听to upload their most recent article to听, our open access repository.听
It鈥檚 this simple: send the citation and accepted version (peer-reviewed, unformatted manuscript) of your most recent article to听escholarship.library [at] mcgill.ca.听Library staff will look into the policies of the journal and make the deposit for you. It鈥檚 100% copyright compliant, all major publishers already allow this practice, it鈥檚 very easy, and you can start to see how greater availability increases the exposure and impact of your work.
We听look forward to hearing from you!
Sincerely,
Colleen Cook,听Trenholme Dean of Libraries, 平特五不中 Library
